How do you get this to work? It says my IP is out of Texas but when ESPN3 asks me for my ISP what do I choose?
For those of you in TN with ESPN3 that want to watch the game try this method:
Log on to ESPN and then go to ESPN3 and set it up for remote access.
Download the Hide-My-IP program from here: Hide-My-IP.Com - Hide Your IP Address, Surf Anonymously, and Protect Your Identity
Don't worry about paying for it, there's a 14 day free trial.
Hide your IP address, you may have to turn this off and on a couple of times to find a faster server, I connected to one in Atlanta that had a 19 Mb/sec throughput speed.
Log back on to ESPN and go back to ESPN3 and click on the TN game and you'll find that it's not blocked.
Of course this only for testing purposes, I would never suggest that you circumvent the blackout.![]()
Your cable/internet provider has to be one of the participating providers to get ESPN3. Unless, they changed it recently.
Your original ISP does. If you have charter or w/e it should automatically work when you go to ESPN3, then go to "remote access" and link it to your account. After that close your browser, open your proxy program and change your IP, then go back to ESPN, sign into your account, go to ESPN3 and click watch now. Because Charter (or w/e you have) lets you watch it, it will work, since your proxy is located in Vegas, Texas, Atlanta, ect. You are not blacked out. Original ISP determines whether ESPN3 works, current IP determines blackouts. Because Your IP says you aren't in TN, even though your original ISP is, you aren't blacked out.
